MARCEL HIMEL
Beloved son of the late Regine and Albert Grinblat, and adopted son of the late Ruth and Howard Himel, Marcel passed away on July 8th, 2021 at the age of 84. Marcel was the cherished husband of Patty, and the adored and adoring father of Nicole Himel and Hugh Lissaman and Stephanie Himel and Tiran Hagigi. Marcel was the biggest hero and cheerleader, and the most beloved Shel, to Rachel and Leah Lissaman and Eden Hagigi. Marcel was predeceased by his brother Mel, and he leaves behind his sister Linda Selverne, his sister-in-law Arlene Himel, and brother-in-law and sister-in-law Peter and Diane Mandell. Marcel was a child of the Holocaust, who faced great challenges in his life, both in France during and after the war and after coming to Canada alone at the age of 12. Despite life's difficulties, he was one of the finest and most humble and gracious men we have ever known, and was unceasingly patient, kind and gentle. He leaves behind family members in Canada, Israel, the U.S. and France, and countless dear lifelong friends. Marcel loved deeply, and was loved deeply in return.
